Although thoroughly modern, the Thai capital, which is also the starting point of your journey, still carries vestiges of the past when it was part of the Ayutthaya kingdom. Cover the highlights of Bangkok during a guided tour, then head out of the city to the floating markets of Damnoen Saduak where longboats jostle for space in a canal and a variety of goods are bought and sold. Visit the famous bridge on the River Kwai in Kanchanaburi and board the train along the Death Railway. Then explore Chiang Mai’s hill tribe region before kicking back in Koh Samui. See tours.

It is not just beaches and islands that make Thailand a drool-worthy destination, although they are part of this 13-day trip. Cities like Ayutthaya are home to cultural landmarks that go back to antiquity, while places like Kanchanaburi, which is included in your itinerary, are associated with more recent events.
